Do you wonder why I use the expression “meanie greenies”? Well
here’s one more example – this one from a fax promoting the sale of
stock in an ammunition manufacturing company:

Under “investment highlights” there is this interesting tidbit:
“…single largest market for volume rifle ammunition through launch of
eco-ammo, environmentally friendly ‘green ammo.’ ”

Well, why not? If meanie greenies can eat “humane veal” and other
“humane,” “organic,” and “natural” animal-derived products, they may as
well feel good about killing for fun with “green ammo.”

According to this fax, “the burgeoning” market for ammunition that
has been growing at a “rate of 28% per annum…for ten consecutive
years…will continue to gain further momentum as military and government
defense spending increases through 2006 and beyond.”

And under “breaking news” this exciting bit of information about this
company: “…U.S. State Department approval to export 2,020,000 rounds of
various small arms cartridges to existing customers in Peru.”

There is no way that anything that destroys any part of God’s
creation could possibly be considered “green.” Let’s face it, Folks;
it’s nothing but “blood red.”

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.
